This is the weakest point of the model. The joint would crack or get damaged every landing.
I pulled them off, cut thru-the-wall slits, extended new standoffs to where they extended thru the BT about 1/2 inch or so. Then I used triangle stock on both sides of the standoffs inside the BT, using 30 minute epoxy.
Very strong now. It looks and works great! It withstands landings well finally.
If you need a copy of the destructions, let me know!

Hope this helps!
